I don't have nearly the depth and detail of Darins knowledge, but I will 
do my best to review patches and handle releases. I will drop some of my
other side projects so I can concentrate on Nautilus.

As Darin said, our main focus will be getting Natilus 2 up to the 
stability and feature set of Nautilus 1, and then I will probably look at 
performance issues. 

My main vision is Nautilus as a useful file manager for day to day 
file-handling tasks, and that is what I'm gonna concentrate on. 

If other people want to work on new features I'd gladly help them by 
answering questions and reviewing patches though.

/ Alex, hoping he can live up to the legendary code reviews of Darin
